A calorimeter of water equivalent 20 g contains 180g of water at 250C. ‘m’ grams of steam at 1000C is mixed in it till the temperature of the mixture is 310C. The value of ‘m’ is close to (Latent heat of water = 540 cal g-1, specific heat of water = 1 cal g-1   0C-1)

a
2
b
4
c
3.2
d
2.6

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Heat gained by cold body = heat lost by hot body⇒20+180×1×31-25=m(540)+m×1×100-31⇒1200=m(609)⇒m≈2gms

A calorimeter of water equivalent 10 g contains a liquid of mass 50 g at 40oC. When m gram of ice at -10oC is put into the calorimeter and the mixture is allowed to attain equilibrium, the final temperature was found to be 20oC. It is known that specific heat capacity of the liquid changes with temperature as S=1+θ500 cal g1C1where θ is temperature in oC. The specific heat capacity of ice, water and the calorimeter remains constant and values are Sice =0.5 cal g1C1Swater =1.0 cal g1C1 and latent heat of fusion of ice is Lf=80calg1. Assume no heat loss to the surrounding and calculate the value of m in grams.
